2017 Vikings Free Agency Thread (Discussion Thread)

One guy still out there that I would really like to get is DT Bennie Logan from the Eagles. Surprised he's still out there

Also if Newman retires, I would like to make a run at Morris Claiborne

Just wonder what kind of money Claiborne is going to want. Agree with Capt gone and if Newman retires. We will need some help.

We have Rhodes, Waynes, Alexander, Price, Sherels, Roberson
Roberson and Price are good size also.
We could probably use another. The draft class seems to be loaded at CB

[autobon7]

With Greenway retired and Cole to the Jags LB becomes a need at least for depth. Really liked Cole and would have liked to see a full season (starting) out of him. Good on special teams and did well when asked to start. Good luck to ya kid.

Well the Lions at least get it. They signed TJ Lang from Green Bay. Vikings of course sign the leftover scraps from the Lions. Dang this is frustrating. There better be a Mangold signing or at last one more lineman.

Fluker signs with the Giants......frustration is right

I am happy with the 2 tackles. We have Boone at LG. Maybe they like what they have at RG or think that this draft has one that they will target. Maybe even Berger and Easton in the middle? Or Beavers?
Not being in on TJ Lang might have been a mistake?

I am happy with the signings for the tackles too. TJ Lang is coming off hip sugery and an ankle issue (i think)...I didn't watch much Bengal games but Zeitler seemed to be the prize this offseason for olineman.

I want Patterson back, of course at a reasonable price, he seems to be underrated as an all around special teamer...I think he started to play gunner about the 4th or 5th game in and his impact was apparent. Considering defense is going to be the strong side of the ball controlling field position will be important. On offense he seemed to make strides toward the end of the season.

Any thoughts on adding Mangold and moving Berger to G ?

[Husker Vike]

If Mangold is healthy, I would be in favor of signing him, would give us a lot of flexibility .

Lacy left without a contract

Lacy told reporters the meeting was "cool," then made his way onto a plane to fly back to Green Bay, where he will meet with Packers brass on Monday. Lacy also visited the Seahawks. He is likely getting incentive-laden offers.


......good. Go sign with GB so you can get benched again

I am indifferent on Lacy playing for the Vikes. He seemed to be in the dog house for the past two seasons in GB ...odd that he would consider returning and they would still want him. I would rather have 32-year old AD.

If Mixon is available at 48 he will have to be considered

I hope they don't waste money on this over-weight under achiever.

I hope they draft a RB either way. But I'd take Lacy over a lot of the other options.

Yeah we need to draft one either way no matter who we sign

Datone Jones is supposedly coming in for a visit. Not sure where he would fit on our team. Wouldnt he be more of a DE in a 4-3? Any opinions on him?

Goodbye Emmanuel Lamur?

Hunter and Jones would be a pretty good reason not to run R against the vikings in base defense.
